I support Vegan Outreach because of their single-minded focus on saving
as many animals as possible from the horrors of modern agribusiness.
Every day, Vegan Outreach strives to be more efficient and effective; every day,
Vegan Outreach activists are out there, creating real, lasting change.
—Rory Freedman, coauthor of Skinny Bitch

Thanks to You, We’ve Accomplished So Much!

In 2010, a record 564 activists took part in VO’s Adopt a College program, handing a booklet directly to 1,202,629 students at 1,167 different schools – in all 50 states and across Canada! Leafleters enlightened an additional 551,813 at concerts, festivals, walkathons, etc.

These efforts have had a measurable impact: in just the past few years, the number of collegiate vegetarians has increased by more than 50% – and the number of vegans has more than doubled!

Next year can be even better but there are only hours left to make a special year-end donation to the matching challenge!

Together, we can keep moving forward – please support this work with a secure, tax-deductible donation at VeganOutreach.org/donate

We’ll continue to make sure your donation gets the biggest bang for the buck!

–Anne, Jack, Jon, & Matt

We are very happy to support Vegan Outreach. We will not forget that your pamphlet brought us to a vegan lifestyle more than twelve years ago. Thanks for all you do.

We had a very receptive crowd at Chapman University today! Met two vegans in the first ten minutes, numerous vegans and veggies thereafter. Yvonne heard there’s a vegan table in the cafeteria, equipped with literature and such.
     Laura joined me at Santa Monica College, having gotten involved because of my last visit. She’s already started a student group!
     Reached nearly 2,000 incredibly receptive students at Cal State San Marcos, and Palomar College – I was churning out new vegetarians by the second! For example: “I just read that leaflet cover to cover… I can’t believe this… it’s horrible. I’m not eating any of them anymore. I’m a mom, and the picture of the piglets… ugh… it killed me, I cried.”
     More amazing connections at Riverside City College – great appreciation of our efforts. Will it ever get old to watch faces change while reading their booklets? No!

For the last two days, Kate and I leafleted in subfreezing temperatures in the snowy mountains of Southwest Virginia and we managed to reach over 5,000 students. The response from students was incredible. One example from each school:
     A student at James Madison University ran up to me after receiving a booklet and said, “I have to tell you something, I went vegetarian from reading one of these last year, and it is the best thing that ever happened to me.” One student at Virginia Tech called the leaflet “eye-opening.” Finally, a student at Radford University was extremely excited to see us leafleting and wanted to learn how she could help.
     Not the funnest leafleting, but it was awesome to reach so many students out in the mountains!

Profuse thanks and much love to all of you who have taken part in this work this semester! I’ve been involved in this since the start of Adopt a College in ’03 and I’ve been utterly overjoyed to see this effective program grow and grow and grow. Vegan Outreach is the sum of many parts, the parts being the activists and donors who involve themselves in this work.
     The bottom line is that we’ve got some pretty awesome parts. Again, thank you so much to all of you who continue to put yourselves on the line with your leafleting in all weather extremes and your noble giving of funds towards this work. We should continue to be so immensely proud of the work that we do on behalf of animals.
